Objective: To evaluate the impact of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on the quality-of-life (QoL) of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS).
Methods: Retrospective cohort study of all adult patients with CRS presenting to our rhinology clinic between August 2020 and February 2023 was performed. OSA was established based on positive polysomnography. Patients' characteristics, apnea-hypopnea index, comorbidities, endoscopy scores, and SNOT-22 scores were collected.
Results: A total of 513 patients with CRS were included, 127 patients with OSA and 386 without OSA. CRS patients with OSA were older (p < 0.001), had higher BMI (p < 0.001), more likely to be males (p = 0.07), more likely to have asthma (p < 0.001), and more likely to have COPD (p = 0.001). Presence of nasal polyps did not differ between the two groups. Baseline SNOT-22 scores were worse in the OSA cohort (44.4 vs 40.5, p = 0.064) secondary to worse sleep (13.4 vs 11.1; p = 0.002) and psychological (14.2 vs 11.5; p = 0.002) domains. Worse SNOT scores were strongly associated with presence of OSA after adjusting for confounding variables, including age, gender, asthma, allergic rhinitis, nasal septal deviation, and smoking status.
Conclusion: OSA is an independent negative contributor to the disease specific QoL in patients with CRS. CPAP use does not seem to affect the QoL in CRS patients with OSA. Further research is warranted to explore the impact of OSA in the outcome of medical and surgical treatment of CRS patients.

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a prevalent condition characterised by repeated episodes of partial or complete obstruction of the upper airway during sleep, leading to disrupted sleep and associated morbidities. Orthognathic surgery (OGS) has been proposed as a treatment option for OSAS, aimed at anatomically repositioning the maxillofacial structures to alleviate airway obstruction. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy of OGS in reducing apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) scores among OSAS patients.

Sleep posture is a key factor in assessing sleep quality, especially for individuals with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), where the sleeping position directly affects breathing patterns: the side position alleviates symptoms, while the supine position exacerbates them. Accurate detection of sleep posture is essential in assessing and improving sleep quality. Automatic sleep posture detection systems, both wearable and non-wearable, have been developed to assess sleep quality.

: Serotonin and the serotonin transporter (SERT) may have a multifaceted, but not fully understood, role in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and its impact on mental health in this group of patients. This study aimed to investigate changes in serotonin and the serotonin transporter (SERT) and their association with depressive and insomnia symptoms. : This study included 76 participants (OSA group: = 36, control group (CG): = 40) who underwent polysomnography, while venous blood samples (evening and morning) were analyzed for serotonin and the SERT using ELISA.

Patients on chronic anticoagulation undergoing metabolic surgery represent an increased risk of complications, including both bleeding and thrombotic events, such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). The optimal perioperative management of patients who are receiving chronic anticoagulation therapy (CAT) is complex. In the colorectal surgery literature, patients on CAT have a 10% rate of peri-procedural bleeding and a 3% rate of thromboembolism.

: Obstructive sleep apnea is a sleep-related breathing disorder associated with craniofacial morphology and dental arches. The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between obstructive sleep apnea and the morphometry of dental arches and upper airways. : Forty patients were enrolled in the study, and the polysomnographic parameters evaluated were the apnea hypopnea index (AHI) and the oxygen desaturation index (ODI).
